Re: Quantum 1234

That was a fun watch. How many pairs of the Q3s did it take to last 13 or so years? Those ones generally break really easily. I like the look of the green ones. I have the blue ones. I had 6 pairs of Q3s total (2 from the original batch and then 4 additional ones when planetfootbag was clearing out...

Quantum 1234

Check out my new video with a historic retrospective of the shoes I've played in since 2004! Also, a big shout out to Dexter Struz and Planetfootbag for their efforts on the Quantum shoe project and to World Footbag and Freedom Footbags for helping to distribute them in North America. Thanks to them...

Re: Ask Me Anything

What is the weirdest thing that you've ever swirled? whirled? around the worlded? How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? Have you ever thought about learning one handed handstands and then trying to juggle on the back of your hands? If so, what would you call this activity?

Re: Starting over

Wow the combo came out great! Muted nuclear looks so cool and I love that you got it both sides! Props! Here's another challenge that you could try: muted neo far clip > pdx illusion (or mirage) inside stall > muted neo near guay> rpt > far eggbeater toe > near eggbeater toe > rpt (if you want to sp...

Rory Dawson Routines - Video Series

This is the first installment of my competition routine series where I will film some of my favorite routines in HD for posterity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOgRtzL1EzU I first performed the Blur - Song 2 routine in 2007 at the World Footbag Championships in Florida, then again in 2008 at the ...

Re: Canberra, Australia via SCL - Daniel Boyle

Congratulations on the 5 add trick session! Kevin and Byrin used to do sessions like that where they would try and hit as many 5 or 6 add moves as possible. It is a good way to practice for sick trick.

Re: Starting over

I really like the inside stuff you are playing around with. The inside rake thing in an earlier post blew my mind. I went through a phase of learning inside stall tricks a few years ago and still enjoy working them into combos. I think it is a really under explored concept. I challenge you to hit "i...

Who the fuck came up with calling ss Atomic sets “tapping”, when a trick, tap, already exists? Has to be one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.

Thank you for coming to my Tappity Tap Tap Talky Talk.

Here are the comments from facebook on your routine for your reference: Daniel Boyle - Nice movement across the stage. I was hoping it was going to be a Rocky style entrance when you came out through the boxing bags! Rory Dawson - Very relaxed! My favorite part was the head butt. A rocky style entra...

Pender Island 2019

We went on several hikes around the resort and island exploring mossy woods and hidden beaches. If you are ever in the neighborhood...

I have also considered quitting facebook in the past. It is really tough decision though because it is the main way that I communicate a...

Re: TMNT Have Nothing On This Shredder

More and more recently I find myself less excited to goto tournaments. The training required and style of play to do well at competitions or get into BAP is for me a 1-way train to injured/burnt out town. I understand the zombie feeling. Sometimes I like to play that way too. My favorite thing when ...

Re: mc

I really dislike dropping. I always try and save the bag especially during performance, but also in competition. That being said I will let the bag drop in exceptional circumstances where if by saving the bag I might injure myself or kick the bag really far away or into a hazard.

Re: Kankeri Japan

I am still kicking! My goto session bag is the multicolored one that I bought from you in Tokyo. It broke in to be LARGE and in CHARGE. Maybe next session I will try some zooming too.

Is this the dancing video that you were looking for? https://vimeo.com/183872277
